Lessons Learned from Hurricane Sandy

Location

Five years ago this week, New York City and the surrounding area was hit by a major coastal storm which left dozens of people dead, thousands of homes damaged or destroyed, and tens of billions of dollars in damage to infrastructure and neighborhoods.
